The Silo-Busting Collaboration Workshop
Stop the 'us vs. them' mentality between different agile squads.
About this session
Friction between agile squads often leads to finger-pointing and delayed releases when dependencies are not managed. This session moves teams past the 'us vs. them' mindset by identifying the specific points of failure in current cross-team interactions and establishing a practical set of coordination agreements.
Why it works
The workshop shifts the focus from individual squad backlogs to the shared flow of work across the organization. By moving participants through a sequence that transitions from surfacing hidden tensions to co-authoring new protocols, it ensures that the resulting collaboration habits are practical and locally owned.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
